syzygy Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Libby is completely astounded by her first view on a King Protea. She never realized how big these flowers are, and how beautifull. No wonder this is now the "national flower" of South Africa. There's a whole bunch of them in the garden near the Hugenot Monument. That is one serious inflourescense illustration!

akdrv Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Wonderful trip and photos. I would imagine that Libby would want to stay with you and continue traveling. You got her in, and most importantly OUT of prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
